the afternoon service Rev. Mclean
preached a Missionary sermon. During
Rev. Tyler's sermon in the evening he
touched a point which might be studied
profitably by a good many people. He
had heard lot of old Fathers in the
church discussing the subject as to wheth-
er church action was necessary in the
matter of young lady going to a dance.
They were chewing tobacco, and making
of the floor the usual stench-pool and sea
of nastiness, in fact there could scarcely
be anything nastier He drew a striking
picture between these nasty deacons and
clean, pretty girl, gaily tripping over a
clean floor. But such comparisons, are
unprofitable-to the deacons. -. Rev. J.
E. Rudisill received into full membership
in the M. E. Church tonight sixty
nine persons. as sesult of his labors for
the year. So it will be seen that the min
lister has been neither idle nor unsuccess-
full.
MONDAY.-Water is terribly scarce, but
Jackson still has one redeeming quality
the society is good. Water is being hauled
by Mr.. Dobbins, of Delays stables. in the
big sprinklers. Many people get drink
ing water from one of the mines. The
wells are giving out IT,. Mr.. L. Reed
returned from visit to Columbus. 49,.
Meeting of the Order of Rechabites to-
night. The tent is growing rapidly, but
there ought to be hundreds in it where
there are now tens. Join the Rechabites.
The Commissioners are in session.
Judge Miller is making veritable
parlor out of the Probate office. 80.
Laura Bennett and Aggie Filter are back
from Waverly ..... The accommodation
north on the G. w. s. B. had wreck, or
rather a throw-off, down the road. Three
cars jumped the track, but nobody was
hurt.
TUESDAY. = The first ground was |
broken for the Jackson Nail Mill to-day |

the first rurrow. The work will be pushed |

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged
For with what judgment ye judge, We shall
be judged: and with what measures ye mete,
it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in
thy brothers eye, but considered not the beam
that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me
pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold,
a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out
of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clear
ly to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye.
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs,
neither cast ye your pearls before swine lest
they trample them under their feet, and turn
again and rend you.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto
you:
For ever one that asketh receiveth; and he
that seeketh fndetb; and to him that knock
eth it shall be openened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his
son ask bread, will he give him q stone?
10 Or If he ask fish, will he give him SER
pent?
IL If ye then, being evil know how to give
good gifts unto your children, how much more
shall your Father which is in heaven give good
things to them that ask him?
II Therefore all things whatsoever we would
that men should do to you, do We even so to
them: for this is the law and the prophets.

A great deal is being said just now
by the Democratic press regarding Gov.
Foraker's position regarding the taxation
of property, as enunciated in special
message to the Legislature. The claim
is put forth that the Governor is in favor
of increasing the burden of taxation on
the farms. The fact of the matter is,
Gov. Foraker, in advocating a correct
listing of all taxable property in the State
perhaps one-third to one-half of which
is really listed-was laboring to decrease,
taxation. There is a vast amount of
property in the State that now escapes
taxation. If there are three billions
of taxable property in the State, and less
than two billions taxed, does it follow
that tax on the remainder would in
crease the burden upon that already
taxed? Where is the logic of the Demo-
cratic position? Let US quote from a
couple of leading Democratic papers, re-
garding the Governors position. The
following editorial appeared in the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, April 10, 1886:
Governor Foraker's exposition of the
defects of the Ohio tax laws is causing
good deal of discussion. Thel is consid-
cradle squirming on the part of corpora
tions that have valuable franchises in
Ohio, for which they pay nothing, and
gentlemen of wealth who conceal their
personal property from the assessor. The
Governor told some plain truths and told
them well. There is no justice at all in
the present system of taxation in Ohio.
The burden falls heaviest where it ought
to fall l1ghtest. and the State is annually
defrauded of at least million dollars
justly due it in taxes. The Governors
suggestions should be needed and acted
upon. The tax laws need thorough revi-
sion and some system devised that appor-
tions taxes justly and equalizes their bur-
dens.''
Much more might be said and quoted
to the same effect, but the lie is so monu-
doubt sufficient to simply brand it and let
it go. Farmers are not so ignorant and
so easily gulled as Democratic politicians
seem to imagine. The following editorial
appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer of
April s, 1886:
"The message of Governor Foraker to
the General Assembly on the condition of
the State finances may be set down as the
most commendable thing he has done
since he entered State politics. In his
message on finance and taxation he has
ignored party lines and addressed him
self to the Legislature in the interest of
the people The message is a plain, busi-
ness-like statement of the points, and de-
serves the attention of all people. From
figures obtained at the Office of the Audi
tor of State, the Governor ascertains that
the casual deficiency of the State will ag
gregate about 81, 100000 on December 81,
1885, The Governors theory appears to
be that By compelling the proper listing
Of personal property and making q fair
and uniform oazuation of realty the State
will have abundant revenue, even at
lower rate of taxation than we have
now."
